Are there any possibilities to get the maps in dark mode?
Would be much better for nightrides and low light.

  Hi Wim, this is not possible right now. Your request has been shared with the product team for consideration. Thanks!

  So now you've a shiny new unit, and new android software, can this be sorted, just like auto-routing debacle? #2yrs

  Dark mode maps is not on current backlog, and no immediate or long term plans. This is also not a common request from most Karoo riders so we will look into it when it is higher on a priority list than other features.

  Thanks for the fast reply. Didn't knew that this wasn't a common request.
  Thought for all the ultra endurance rider or myself, that usually drives 8-12h per ride, which means a couple of hours are thru the night, it would be really helpful.
  
  Screen on my Karoo 2 are also too bright at night time.
  Possibility to switch the settings to not such a bright mode at night?

  Hey Wimking

  Are you reducing the brightness? 
  
  For me it works well for the those early morning and late evenings.

  Hi Lee
  Of course i adjust the brightness to the lowest settings. But still, if i run in the night thru countryside its still to bright. Dark mode would be a game changer.

  Hello Wimking,

  I noticed yesterday there is a dark/light mode option on the device. When a ride is recording, swipe down to see the option.

  Below is a link to HH Info for a HH1 unit but also works on HH2.

  Hope this helps!

  Big +1 from me: even on lowest setting, the screen is much too bright for night rides. For me, it poses a security risk, as my eyes adjust to the brightness when looking at the screen, and then need several seconds to readjust to the dark, during which visibility is much reduced. I therefore turn the screen off as much as possible during the night and sometimes navigate with other devices instead of the Karoo. Dark maps would be superb.
